Performance Summary
Testimonials
“I cannot recommend Apple A Day enough! Charlotte and the team were fantastic at tailoring roles to fit my needs, matching me with the best possible school. I had a very positive experience working with them, and through their excellent support and communication, I had the opportunity to work with a school before securing a permanent position. Charlotte and the team were friendly and supportive and went out of their way to ensure I felt comfortable and happy with the opportunities they offered. Apple A Day is an outstanding choice if you’re looking for a supply agency that genuinely cares.”
“We have developed a strong working partnership with Apple A Day and by using them to provide an interim leadership post meant that we were able to trial a new leadership structure and spend time working with them to secure a permanent candidate. This has also meant the handover between their interim candidate and the permanent Head of School they sourced, has been very thorough.”
“I was very impressed with Apple A Day Supply as they offered excellent cover solutions whilst I was Acting Head of a Wiltshire school. Nothing was too much for the dynamic duo - thumbs up to Gemma. I recommend this company to you without any reservation.”
“Apple A Day were affable and supportive, from the first correspondence, to my interview and beyond. I am an OTT, trained as a qualified teacher in SA by 1996, and I arrived in England in late 2001 and have worked as a teacher for the best part of the last 22 years, dealing with several teaching agencies along the way, notably in London and Kent. Some are best forgotten. I have no hesitation in recommending the entire team - Gemma, Sam, Kate, Anda and Michaela - as warm, friendly, supportive professionals. They run a teaching agency as it ought to be run - listening to and understanding their teachers, while at the same time, supplying quality teachers to their clients.”
“Apple A Day is an agency that not only provides you with lovely schools to work in, but they also understand exactly what it is like to be in the classroom and help you with every step on the way. For instance, Gemma will often ring to ask how your day has been (and it is so lovely to catch up), and there are also lots of resources on the website to aid your teaching or let you know if it is a themed week. Gemma is so supportive and kind and I cannot recommend Apple A Day enough!”
“Having worked with Apple previously, I knew that I was re-joining a fantastic company that really value and support their supply staff (particularly important during a pandemic!). Gemma, Ashley and Sam in particular have been so supportive of my decision to try something outside of teaching. I have had long chats with each of these lovely people about potential new avenues and it was through Gemma that I found my current employment at a nursery. I couldn’t rate Apple a Day highly enough and would be very happy to work for them again in the future.”
